By examining their 2022 stats, we can identify trends and areas for improvement, while projections from reputable sources such as Steamer,... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/26/23): NBA DFS Lineups

This should be an exciting slate, to say the very least. We have two matchups (Spurs-Celtics, Rockets-Cavaliers) with spreads of at least 14.5 points. At the same time, a group of the 14 teams in action tonight are either blatantly tanking or blatantly resting players in preparation for the playoffs. This is the time of... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/25/23): NBA DFS Lineups

As expected on a Saturday, we have a meager five-game slate on tap in the NBA. The Jazz-Kings and Bucks-Nuggets matchups hold the highest implied total and profile as the top games to target for our DFS lineups, but it being a smaller slate means we'll need to consider all ten squads. Half of the... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/19/23): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a glorious Sunday, and we have our typically small five-game slate on tap for tonight's main slate in the NBA. The Clippers-Blazers and Raptors-Bucks matchups hold the high implied totals, but we'll need to consider all ten teams as it's a small slate, and there isn't much in the way of obvious value plays.... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/18/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers, and happy March Madness for all those who celebrate. We have our typical small slate on tap in the NBA tonight, and it's highlighted by four games with implied totals of at least 232 points. The Celtics-Jazz matchup rates out as the top game to target, thanks to its combination... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/12/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to another Sunday, RotoBallers. We only have eight teams (four games) in action on the main slate in the NBA tonight, highlighted by a Thunder-Spurs game with a 237-point implied total and a Knicks-Lakers matchup with profound playoff implications. Three teams are playing in the second half of a back-to-back set, and we know... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/11/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers. We have an unusually-large nine-game slate on tap tonight, highlighted by three games with implied totals north of 236 points. Several stars and important rotational players won't suit up tonight, leaving us to select value options in the wake. We don't love playing a bunch of Pistons and non-Luka Mavericks,... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/5/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to another Sunday, RotoBallers. We have a seven-game slate on tap tonight, and it should be a good one, highlighted by a Jazz-Thunder game that holds the highest implied total on the board. The Spurs-Rockets matchup is an appealing game that's a repeat from last night, but Keldon Johnson's return squashes any value we... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/4/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to another glorious Saturday, RotoBallers. We have a typical Saturday slate on tap for tonight with five games, featuring a Wolves-Kings affair that figures to be a shootout and a Rockets-Spurs matchup in which we might see the least amount of defense ever played on an NBA court. Pricing on the stars feels pretty... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have an exciting Sunday slate with ten teams on the main slate to wrap up the weekend. The Kings-Thunder matchup grades out the best as it features the highest implied total (by six points) and two squads that bleed fantasy points to opposing teams. The Wolves-Warriors and Clippers-Nuggets affairs are also highly intriguing, while... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/25/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to Saturday, RotoBallers. We have a medium-sized slate on our hands tonight in the NBA as we have six games, featuring the Spurs-Jazz affair that currently holds an implied total north of 240 points. In an odd development, no star players are currently listed as questionable on the injury report. That can change in... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/19/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Recommending lineup picks for tonight's All-Star Game is bordering on being an impossible task. What makes this so hard is that the teams haven't yet been picked, so we have to use sheer guesswork to figure out which players will get the most minutes and which might hog usage and fantasy production. Another oddity is... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/12/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Just two games in the NBA today as the most-watched event in the history of TV is set to kick off in the late afternoon today. That means we can sit back and enjoy some early-afternoon basketball (the best kind!). Memphis will be in Boston for a marquee matchup of two top seeds, while Toronto... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to the typical small weekend slate on Sunday, as there are four games on the main slate in the NBA tonight. Denver, New Orleans, and New York are all playing on the second leg of their back-to-back sets, and there are several high-salaried players listed as questionable, so we have a lot to... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/4/23): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA spoils us as this is the second consecutive Saturday where we've been treated to a full slate of NBA games. We'll take what we can get. However, Saturdays can be tricky with coaches deciding to rest key players, so keep your eyes peeled on the news and injury updates. We have a handful... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/29/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to the typical small weekend slate after we were treated with an outlier nine-game slate last night. We'll have to evaluate options from each team with only six to choose from on this slate, but it's clear that the Pacers-Grizzlies and Pelicans-Bucks matchups are the ones to target tonight. The Grizzlies, in particular,... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/28/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Saturday slates are typically smaller, ranging from four to six games on the main slate on most occasions. However, we're treated to a nine-game main slate tonight on both sites, tipping off at 6:00 CT with the Rockets-Pistons and Bulls-Magic matchups. As you can see by my model below, every game on the board is... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/22/23): NBA DFS Lineups

There are four games on the DraftKings main slate tonight, but FanDuel did its own thing (what's new) and has included the earlier Knicks-Raptors game in their main slate schedule. That game should be competitive, but its 222-point implied total is the lowest on the slate by a wide margin, and I'm not loving targeting... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/21/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We've got a six-game slate and plenty of intriguing spots to work with. The 76ers-Kings game is the top matchup to target for DFS tonight, but the Hornets-Hawks and Rockets-Timberwolves are also appealing game environments. We typically don't want to exclude games on a short slate like this one, and that's especially true when star... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have another smaller slate in the NBA tonight with an exciting five-gamer featuring the 76ers-Lakers nightcap. For DFS purposes, the Kings-Spurs matchup stands out far above the rest, as the 245.5-point implied total is a full 11 points ahead of the next-highest total game. It also projects to be the fastest-paced game and features... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/14/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smaller slate to work with in the NBA tonight, which is what we typically see on weekends. All six matchups are viable to target in DFS contests tonight, but we have a situation where the Pacers will be extremely shorthanded, and DraftKings didn't get around to pricing the rotational players up yet....

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/8/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a six-game slate on tap in the NBA tonight, which is typically my favorite sweet spot of games on a slate. However, this is shaping up to be one of the trickier slates this season, as we have a handful of stars and a group of important rotational pieces with questionable injury designations.... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/7/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're wrapping up the first week of the new year, and daily fantasy basketball contests continue churning. We have a slate full of appealing matchups from a fantasy perspective, led by the Lakers-Kings affair and its substantial 241.5-point implied total. There isn't much injury news to monitor at the moment as we're only working with... Read More

It's time to turn the calendar over and start fresh, as it is officially 2023. Of course, we have a giant slate of NFL games to enjoy on New Year's Day, but there's also a small, yet premiere, slate of NBA games starting at 8:00 pm ET tonight. The Celtics-Nuggets and Kings-Grizzlies games rate out... Read More

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/31/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's New Year's Eve, and I can't think of a better day to make some money with daily fantasy basketball contests. The matchups are reasonably evenly spread in terms of their fantasy appeal tonight. Still, there is a clear tier break in the implied totals after the Nets-Hornets, Pelicans-Grizzlies, Mavericks-Spurs, and Pistons-Timberwolves matchups. The Nets,... Read More
